Customers

Search, add, inspect, and update customer contact details, addresses, and order history.

Use Customers to keep buyer records accurate and understand the orders connected to each person.

Why and when to use Customers

Open this section when you need to find a buyer, add a customer record, correct contact or shipping information, or review the person's order history.

Availability and prerequisites

  • A customer can appear after checkout or be added manually.
  • The list labels records as Guest or Registered when that account information is available.
  • A saved Stock Location can be required by address-related store workflows, but it is not a claim that a customer address is a warehouse.
  • Use customer data only for the purpose and access allowed by your organization.
